About this listen

Are you ready for the end? An ancient tomb is unearthed live on cable TV after months of hype. It's billed as the archeological equivalent of Shark Week. The actual footage takes a turn no one ever expected. Those minutes of footage will be combed over by governments worldwide seeking to understand what horror came out of that tomb.

They watched the news for weeks as an infection spread quickly across the globe. The videos posted online of people ripping into each other like cannibals on PCP were unreal. The support from the authorities was a joke. No one had a plan in place for this. At least not a plan that involved saving everyone....

Join a tight knit family of outcasts who'll do anything for one another as they battle their way through this freak show. A reality where might makes right and the only thing worse than running out of food and water is running out of ammunition.

I was with it

This got a few poor reviews but I was with it every step of the way. The narrator could have been a bit more fluid when changing characters however it didn't take away from the story.

A bit different zombie book…

A few different limitations, and intimate cast of characters that are run into are different that the usual. Unfortunately, I think that element plays more into book2

Great new take on zombie apocalypse

Really appreciated the fact that it actually took the time to explain how the virus works

Amazing!

I was afraid I wouldn't enjoy this book since it wasn't an actual book with pages and I thought I would lose interest fast. But that was the opposite. I enjoyed the suspense and I felt with the writer's deep description that I was abke to picture it in my mind as it was happening. And the best part is that each chapter wasn't predictable. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the narrators voice to go with it. He wasn't boring like some who read for recorded books. I cannot wait to read the next part!!!

great pandemic/zombie/vampire story. New twist!

Loved this! Mom, Dad & 3 adopted teenagers hunker down during a pandemic. This is no ordinary virus though. it's an ancient spore from a newly opened tomb (won't give it way but more than just spores). The world goes crazy, the infected or those they infect hide during the day & run at night! This is the family's struggle. I own over 3k books & at least 2k of those are apocalypse/horror. This is one of the better ones!!!

Crawl into this Great Zombie Book

Crawlerz is a gem and a great find for fans of indy horror. Merritt takes the standard zompoc storyline and turns it up to 11 with excellent character development, good research and a narrative that is both believable and terrifying. The main characters (a family) watch the world slowly unravel around them as the undead plague spread across the globe. The zombies come in several varieties (fast & mean and faster & meaner) so when they finally arrive in the family's quiet suburb its not long before the things are eating their way through the neighborhood. They try to stand and fight but quickly realize that will not work, so they cut and run but there is nowhere to go and they end up running for their lives among the chaos and mayhem of the dying world. Merritt is a master story teller. I listened to the Audible version and Elliott Bales provides the perfect voice for the narration. The only complaint I have is that only book #1 is available on Audible! I hope book 2 is up soon!
